This weekend, I had the pleasure to stay at the @hiltonbankside and experience their brand new vegan suite🌿
:::::::::
We were so impressed by the designs, the food and the hospitality ❤️ Not only everything in the suite is made from vegan friendly and sustainable materials, but we were welcomed with vegan snacks and fresh juices.
The restaurant even has a dedicated section with chairs made of pinatex 🍍and the food was incredibly tasty. Absolute perfection for the ethically-conscious traveler ✨ #collaboration@hiltonbankside@oxbobankside

Last week we were super excited to take a mini staycation at the brand new @alofthotelmagmile. This hotel is seriously 🤩 fantastic. ⁣
⁣
We can’t believe that you can book their “Spare Bedroom” package for as little as $102/night. That includes a $20 gift card to Whole Foods right around the corner, so you can grab a bottle of wine 🍷 and some cookies, or really whatever you want, and make it a relaxing night in. ⁣
⁣
We seriously didn’t want to leave the hotel. We were happy to grab some snacks for dinner and check out everything the Aloft Mag Mile 🌃 had to offer.⁣
⁣
We started at the 24 hour gym 💪🏼. The view alone actually made us want to work out! Afterwards we hopped next door to the gorgeous 19th floor pool 🏊‍♀️ overlooking the city. ⁣
⁣
Back in our super modern looking room with yet another great city view is a SUPER comfortable platform bed and a 65” TV! You better believe we spent some time watching movies 🎥 on HBO that’s included in your stay. (Oceans 8 and American Made with Tom Cruise ftw!) The wifi is also super fast and included as well. ⁣
⁣
After a shower, we dropped by the bar in the lobby and hung out to play some board games, Jenga and pool. Bar W XYZ offers plenty of drink 🍹options, and some light bites as well. There’s also the 24-hour Re:fuel grab-and-go area where you can grab snacks and drinks. ⁣
⁣
You can also opt for breakfast bowls in the morning, which looked amazing, but we may or may not have slept in and then proceeded to take about a million pics of us with our self timer before we realized that we missed breakfast at 10 am! 🤦🏼‍♀️(Check our stories if you want to see the shots that didn’t make the cut. 😂) ⁣
⁣
We hope you guys consider this place the next time you need a place to house your guests, or just book a night away for yourselves. We came back home feeling super refreshed 💆🏼‍♀️💆🏾‍♂️and relaxed. You know we also love a good deal, and the value for what you get here is unmatched. ⁣
⁣
Thank you to the @alofthotelmagmile for hosting our stay, we cannot recommend this place enough! #hosted⁣

21/365 - I think when I was younger I always thought the UK wasn’t very beautiful compared to other places in the world. So I haven’t really ever been to many places in the UK. Instead I have opted more for going abroad. However as I get older, I can really appreciate the beauty in some places in the UK. Especially the Lake District. Would be tempted to take my drone up there, would get some great shots.... -

I seem to be on a boats the lately! This is one of my favourite pics for last year’s visit to Lake Louise. Two brave ladies got out of these kayaks just before I snapped this photo. Brrrr! Are you that brave? I’m not! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
